Following company layoffs, he founded Cannon Cleaning, Inc. in 1994 where he worked until 2023 when his physical condition declined.

Dave was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by three daughters: Jamie Faith (Joshua) Garretson, Katie Joy DeOms, and Kacie Hope (Brian) Spearman and two granddaughters, Riley Garretson and Lily Spearman; His brother: James H. (Ann) DeOms and two nephews, Nathan (Stasi) DeOms and Jesse DeOms.

He loved his daughters deeply and his granddaughters were his pride and joy, always bringing a smile to his face. Dave was an avid golfer and very proud of the two “hole in one” shots he made while golfing at local courses. He was well known for wearing shorts despite the weather. Those close to him hold this memory fondly and most can not recall a time they saw him wearing long pants.
